Papers rel. to have the date of enlistment & discharge set forth. — Vide — 1st. Affidavit or original declaration taken before Judge Ogden, when he states that he enlist. 1. Feb. 1776 in Sharon in Litchfield Co. in Connecticut in Capt. Palmerly's Co. Vt. — In his 2 d affd. made under the law of 1. May 1820 — he states that he enlist. in Feb. 1776 — It has been our practice not to be particular in dates in the 2 d declaration, particularly if the deponent is in the 1st. declarat n & that is transmitted at the same time.
As to his Discharge.
His orig. declarat n states that "in the month of November following (1776) he was discharged at Fort George on the South end of Lake George in the State of New York by the Chief Surgeon Doct. Potts, which discharge he supposes has been lost or destroyed."
The same fact is cont d in 2 d Affd.
On the last page, is Mr. Goodrich's Supplemental affd n , stating that his services under Palmerly expired about the 27. November 1776. All which makes ten months & wanting 3 days.
The Applicant needs the pension much — he is poor, blind yet a respectable & worthy old man —

Under the first pension act - March 1818 for Revy Soldiers required a service of 9 mos in one enlistment in the Continental Army & applicants rarely specified service  without detail Service on that which would entitle them to a pension, & they were not required to give the date of their birth, their residence since the war has was exacted with somewhat particularity under a later act -

Yours of the 24th Dec r 1900 requesting for genealogical purposes information of Michael & Elnathan Goodrich who served in the Rery war to be used only for genealogical purposes
Enclosed you will receive a statement on a separate sheet of such history of the military service of Michael Goodrich as is contained in the papers that were filed in his application to which has been added the official report of the date of his decease - or if he survived
No trace of Elnathan Goodrich in 1706 has been found on the records of this office, he having died before the passing of a pension law under which he would have been entitled to a pension for services
There are no rolls of soldiers who served in the Rery war except a few scattering ones one of the Militia & of a few states some incomplete rolls of those who enlisted on & after Jan y 1. 1777 into the Continental army.
It is suggested that you might obtain some information of Elnathan military service by application to the Comptroller of the State of Conn t provided you can furnish probable dates of his enlistment & names of names of officers under whom he served. Many towns have records of the names of soldiers & promised to supply these queries.
